Getting the ID from the default VPC

Feature overview

🚀 Method get_default_vpc_id()
📄 Description A method that enables users to get the ID of the account's default VPC
📦 Acessible from cloudgeass.aws.ec2.EC2Client

Feature demo

The EC2Client get_default_vpc_id() method is built from a boto3 ec2 client method called describe_vpcs(). It takes the method's response and gets the VPC ID if the response key 'IsDefault' is true. Let's see this in practice.

# Importing the client class
from cloudgeass.aws.ec2 import EC2Client

# Creating a class instance
ec2 = EC2Client()

# Getting the ID from the default VPC
vpc_id = ec2.get_default_vpc_id()
